If you were there when the 99s were out, those were great, but would have been young back then. Also, I think that Oregon wine making has improved tremendously since then. Case in point, the very difficult 04 vintage, in which many highly skilled producers were able to make great wine. And by the way, St Innocent, Belle Pente, and others cost in the $30 range. I would put up a $34 St Innocent bottle against any domestic Pinot. And against many young Burgs too. I hope you will try some Oregon Pinot again sometime, hopefully the 04 vintage that is still available.Brooklynguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-45183548615945137242007-03-11T12:16:00.000-04:002007-03-11T12:16:00.000-04:00We did the Oregon Wine Country Tour about 6 years ...We did the Oregon Wine Country Tour about 6 years ago. I think I did a flight at Oregon Wines on Broadway, too. The wines for that trip were so disappointing! Both of us prefer Burgs and RRV pinots over Oregon pinots. We haven't given up, but don't seek them out now, either. Perhaps if they cost around $30 rather than $40-$65.Jackwww.forkandbottle.comnoreply@blogger.com
